Mama, I had the same reaction as you early in my quit. Protect your quit at all costs. It is valuable. You have worked hard for those days and you don't want to lose them. Post any time you need help and lean on those here that offer you positive reinforcement. You are a valued member of this quit family. I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better. It is all perspective. Chin up, best foot forward. You are doing great!

Mama... you are on day 22. Don't give up now. Breathe in :gasp: Breathe out :8o: Breathe in :gasp: Breathe out :8o: Breathe in :gasp: Breathe out :8o: Where are your reasons for quitting? They haven't changed. Get them out and read them. You know you don't want to smoke. The nicodemon is really tough at times and we feel like giving in but we know better. You need to distract yourself. Whatever you are doing, stop. Do something entirely different. Take a shower, go for a walk, go to a movie. Do something where there is no smoking. And keep breathing. This will pass. Ride it out. It's like a big wave but it will pass and you will come out a victor on top. Just think of how much better you will feel when this is over. Keep breathing and let us know how you are doing.

Hi mamma, You can do this. Some people have a harder time than others in this journery. If they slip, take a puff, believe me, they are down on themselves. It shouldn't open the door to you thinking, "oh, I can have one too". I think, "by the grace of god, go I". Hang on to your quit, and try and help others that are having a harder time. YOU stay smoke free. Sorry to hear that you are cravings today. I know that it totally sucks, but with the right attitude, you will make it through.
